Above left to right: Some walkers just starting the kinikini track, private farmland you can explore with owners permission.

This reserve is located 7 km south of Mahia Beach up the narrow and winding Kinikini Road A 3.5 km loop track walks you through one of the best examples of semi coastal forest on the North Island east coast.

Tawa and kohekohe forest is varied with stands of nikau, rimu, rewarewa and a fern flanked stream.

Allow 2 hrs 30 mins to walk this track and take your lunch with you as a picnic area is located part way along the track

Another spectacular walk is up the iconic Mokotahi Hill. It's a 20min climb to the top, and you have the best sea views of Mahia Beach ever... you can view far south to Napier and north to Gisborne.

There are biking routes throughout Mahia to cater for all levels.

You may even like to venture along the gravel road and bike out to the end of the peninsula, or be droped half way and walk to the new Met Service Radar station, and enjoy the views!

There is private farmland on the peninsula that we can arrange for you to have access to walk, tramp and bike on. The choice is all yours - a real privledge.
